Hi All,
I've been using a GT-ac5300 for several years now, but my kids are complaining about wireless gaming issues with high pings.
Kid one has a room right above the position of the GT-ac5300 (just concrete floor in between) and is reaching some 250 mbps wireless
Kid2 and 3 Especially the one that is too far from the router (only 90 mbps connection speed)...
We have a gigabit ethernet connection so speedtest in close range (same room) of AC5300 results in 500/650 mbps on samsung galaxy s20, on Iphone we hit 850.
Wired on the routers lan port 940 to 970 mbps.
Since i have an old RT-ac68u lying around i thougth i use this in AiMesh mode as node (wireless backhaul (5ghz on node and 5Ghz2 on main) because wired is not an option)
Together with the GT-AC5300 we get for Kid1 still connecting direct to main router on first 5Ghz band with 250 mbps, kid2 about 125 mbps on node (however aimesh connection is fantastic at -66 db between main and node),
Since the issue was for rooms kids 2 & 3, we did some other setups
Next test was using different powerlines, to connect main and node with wired backhaul.
With a tp-link Av2000 we would get about 170 mbps
With a devolo magic 2 g.hn 2400 we could hit 240 mbps
However both powerline connections were not stable and to many dropouts so no go.
Then i bought a GT-AX11000 to replace the GT-ac5300, my observations are that the ax11000 has little less powerful wireless signal, however more stable and no high ping peaks (>2000 ms) for now.
Paired together with RT-ac68u as aimesh node, a little less speedy as with the gt-ac5300 but stable no dropouts. (110 mbps)
But hey we got the GT-ac5300, so why not use this as wireless aimesh node..., because for some reason the GT-ac5300 will not work as node, i tried several times hard reset, add as aimesh node, and then after restart of the GT-ac5300 it keeps looping it's 2nd 5ghz band on/off ... so not possible to add in Aimesh...
Now i'm thinking of getting a RT-AX92u or a second ax11000, both are 3 band so wireless backhaul can be done on 3rd band and second band is used as wireless band for clients, so performance wise it should be at least 2x faster, since backhaul and clients are on separate bands.
The benefit of a 2nd ax11000, it has all wifi6 bands whereas the Ax92u only has it's 3rd band as wifi6 others are wifi5, or maybe and XT8 (all wifi6 bands)
Question i have now, what settings can i use on the wireless backhaul to get max performance, since both devices support wifi6, i can enable all those settings like 802.11ac Multi-User MIMO, OFDMA/802.11ax MU-MIMO,
Does Qos also limits (distribute) the throughput to the wireless nodes or only to the clients?
Thx
